BOTOX injections, when performed by the skin rejuvenation experts at Matisse Medspa, will leave you looking youthful and refreshed. The art of BOTOX injections lies in the hands behind the needle, and we are honored to be recognized as being the premier medspa serving the Phoenix and Surprise areas. BOTOX, when injected into specific muscles, halts the nerve signals to the muscle, acting to smooth the overlying skin.

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is an extremely popular injectable cosmetic treatment used to create smoother, firmer facial skin and reduce signs of aging. Most commonly, BOTOX treatment is performed to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and creases in various areas of the face. This includes crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, lipstick lines, marionette lines, and chin dimples.

BOTOX in Phoenix can also be used to treat certain medical conditions, including neck spasms, excessive sweating, lazy eye, and migraines.

How does BOTOX work?

BOTOX is one of the most popular of all injectables worldwide, and exceptionally safe. The active ingredient is a neuromodulator that halts nerve signals to overactive facial muscles. BOTOX creates a smoothing effect that lasts for about three to four months. As the underlying muscles relax, the overlying skin becomes smoother, for a dramatically refreshed look. When under the care of our injector specialists, you can smooth away etched-in lines and creases in just minutes.

Whether it’s between the eyebrows, on the forehead, or around the crows’ feet, BOTOX will smooth out all of your fine lines and wrinkles.

What is the Recovery time after BOTOX Injections?

After your BOTOX injections in Phoenix, you are free to go back to your regular day. The only restrictions are to avoid rubbing or massaging your face, so the BOTOX does not get shifted to another facial area. Do not lie on your back, apply heat, or exercise, and avoid outdoor heat, saunas, or any activity that would cause your skin to flush, for 48 hours. If you have reddened areas or a minor bruise from the injections, you can cover those areas with makeup, or apply an ice pack.

How long does BOTOX take to work?

After BOTOX injections, you will need a few days to start to enjoy the smoothing effect. You can expect about three to seven days for the injections to work their magic. To maintain your rejuvenated look, you will need regular treatments about every four months. Every person has a unique physiology, and some may have longer-lasting results, or need slightly more frequent injections.

Six Tips For Your BOTOX Recovery

Follow instructions: Adhere to post-injection guidelines provided by your provider, including avoiding strenuous activities and refraining from touching the treated area.
Apply ice: Ice packs can reduce swelling and discomfort, but they should not be applied directly to the skin for too long.
Avoid certain medications: Consult your provider about medications to avoid, especially blood thinners and anti-inflammatories, which can increase the risk of bruising.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to aid in toxin flushing and reduce swelling.
Be patient. Full results may take a few days, so give your body time to adjust.
Follow-up: Schedule an appointment with your provider to assess results and address concerns.
